CFITSIO is widely used in the astronomical community. ** ** cfitsio-3.030-1.sl5.x86_64.rpm ** cfitsio-devel-3.030-1.sl5.x86_64.rpm ** *dropit * dropit's intended purpose is to remove directories entries from a * PATH shell variable value, which has colon separated fields. * dropit is usable in sh, ksh, and csh shell script files. * * dropit-1.2-1.x86_64.rpm *FUSE * * With FUSE it is possible to implement a fully functional filesystem * in a userspace program. * fuse-smb: you can seamlessly browse your network neighbourhood as if * it were on your own filesystem. Only when you're accessing a share is * a connection made to the remote computer. This also allows users to * mount smb shares using kerberos. * fuse-sshfs: A FUSE-filesystem client based on the * SSH File Transfer Protocol. On the client side mounting the * filesystem is as easy as logging into the server with ssh. * * fuse-2.6.3-1.el5.x86_64.rpm * fuse-devel-2.6.3-1.el5.x86_64.rpm * fuse-libs-2.6.3-1.el5.x86_64.rpm * fuse-smb-0.8.5-1.el5.x86_64.rpm * fuse-sshfs-1.7-2.el5.x86_64.rpm * kernel-module-fuse-2.6.18-1.2747.el5-2.6.3-1.el5.x86_64.rpm * kernel-module-fuse-2.6.18-1.2747.el5xen-2.6.3-1.el5.x86_64.rpm *Graphviz * * Graph Visualization Tools * * graphviz-2.8-1.sl.x86_64.rpm * graphviz-devel-2.8-1.sl.x86_64.rpm * graphviz-doc-2.8-1.sl.x86_64.rpm * graphviz-graphs-2.8-1.sl.x86_64.rpm * graphviz-guile-2.8-1.sl.x86_64.rpm * graphviz-java-2.8-1.sl.x86_64.rpm * graphviz-lua-2.8-1.sl.x86_64.rpm * graphviz-ocaml-2.8-1.sl.x86_64.rpm * graphviz-perl-2.8-1.sl.x86_64.rpm * graphviz-php-2.8-1.sl.x86_64.rpm * graphviz-python-2.8-1.sl.x86_64.rpm * graphviz-ruby-2.8-1.sl.x86_64.rpm * graphviz-tcl-2.8-1.sl.x86_64.rpm * **icewm * * A lightweight window manager for the X Window System. * ** icewm-1.2.30-3.x86_64.rpm ** icewm-l10n-1.2.30-3.x86_64.rpm *Intel wireless firmware * * Firmware for the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100 and 2200 Driver. * Please read the license that comes in the rpm carefully. * ipw2200-firmware-3.0 includes version 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and 3.0 * * ipw2100-firmware-1.3-5.noarch.rpm * ipw2200-firmware-3.0-1.noarch.rpm * * ipw3945d is needed to control the ipw3945 wireless card * kernel-module-ipw3945 is needed because this driver is not in * the standard kernel.

Because of * this updates dealing with kernel-module rpm's (such as afs) now work * * yum-conf * metadata_expire variable was set to 20 hours to allow for normal users * to be able to use yum for those commands they can run * yum-conf has the following repositories in it * sl-base (enabled) * sl-security (enabled) * sl-testing (not enabled) * sl-fastbugs (not enabled) * sl-bugfix-51 (not enabled) * atrpms (not enabled) * dag (not enabled) * flash (not enabled) * Not all repositories are enabled by default. * To enable them for one time use, use the --enablerepo command, such as * yum --enablerepo=atrpms list mplayer * yum --enablerepo=dag install xine * yum --enablerepo=flash install flash-player * * If you want the repositories to be enabled all the time then you need * to edit the config files and change enabled=0 to enabled=1. * The config files are in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory and are * named like * /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo * /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo * * NOTE1: Just because a yum repository exists does NOT mean * it is compatible with all other yum repositories. We have included * the repositories we did because they usually work well together. But if * there is a problem with one of the packages in a repository, please contact * that repository maintainer. * * yum-autoupdate * yum-autoupdate has the check for a running yum in it, so that if * yum has been running for a long time (close to 24 hours), when the yum.cron * starts up, it will kill the old yum. This was changed because we * had reports that yum was hanging and we didn't want this to interfere with updates. * * yum-autoupdate checks to see how long the machine is been up * If it is up less than 20 hours, it doesn't wait, but does the update. * If it is longer than 20 hours, it waits a random time, up to 3 hours. * This uptime check was done to help laptops and other machines that * might not be on long enough to wait for the random time. * The random time was put it in so that servers arn't overwhelmed. * ** yum-conf-5x was created for those users who want to be at the latest ** stable release. It is always pointing at the 5x area. This means ** that when we make new versions you will automatically be upgraded to ** them. ** * * yum-3.0.6-2.sl.noarch.rpm * yum-autoupdate-1-1.SL.noarch.rpm ** yum-conf-50-3.SL.noarch.rpm ** yum-conf-5x-3-1.SL.noarch.rpm * yum-rhn-plugin-0.4.3-1.el5.noarch.rpm * yum-metadata-parser-1.0.4-1.sl5.x86_64.rpm * yum-updatesd-3.0.6-2.sl.noarch.rpm **Apache ** Changed index.html to not have Upstream Vendor info but to ** have SL info. ** ** httpd-2.2.3-6.sl.x86_64.rpm ** httpd-devel-2.2.3-6.sl.x86_64.rpm ** httpd-manual-2.2.3-6.sl.x86_64.rpm ** mod_ssl-2.2.3-6.sl.x86_64.rpm **Changed in order to be built ** ** Some rpm's had to be changed in order for us to build them. ** ** The following rpm's had to have a variable changed so that they ** point to the current include file ** ** brlapi-0.4.1-1.fc6.1.i386.rpm ** brlapi-0.4.1-1.fc6.1.x86_64.rpm ** brlapi-devel-0.4.1-1.fc6.1.i386.rpm ** brlapi-devel-0.4.1-1.fc6.1.x86_64.rpm ** brltty-3.7.2-1.fc6.1.x86_64.rpm *----------------------------------------------------------------------------- */SL/ *----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The location of the rpms. *----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * /contrib/ *------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *RPMS provided by colaboraters that either cannot go in main release or are *intesting before going into main release. * *See the SRPMS section for source rpms * *----------------------------------------------------------------------------- */updates/ *----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * security * Security errata * fastbugs * Packages rebuilt from the Upstream Vendor Fastrack rpms * These are rpms that are expected to be in the next Update * They have gone through full QA by the Upstream Vendor * bugfix51 * Reserved for packages from the next Update. * *--------------------------------------------------------------------------- */../SRPMS/ *--------------------------------------------------------------------------- * */SL/ * Contains the SRPMS for what we added or changed.
